I've encountered an error while using ApplicationXtender (AX) Web Access:

Who can use ApplicationXtender (AX) Web Access and how to gain access to the system:

  • AX Web Access is available to authorized WSU employees. 
  • To gain access to the system, the Business Manager authorizing your access must fill out the Banner Access Request Form, checking "Imaging/ApplicationXtender" box and submit to the Computing and Information Technology (C&IT) Information Security Office.  If you are unsure who your Business Manager is you can reference the Business Managers Roster.
  •  What if I forget my AccessID password or want to change my password?
    • Your AX Web Access password is the same password you use to log into the Banner Administrative System.
    • If you forget your password or need help with resetting it, contact the Computing & Information Technology (C&IT) Help Desk at (313) 577-4778 or helpdesk@wayne.edu.

Hardware and software requirements for ApplicationXtender:

  • Hardware
    • Considerations for purchasing a scanner for inputting documents into Application Xtender
    • Scanning 101
    • Dual monitors are NOT required to use ApplicationXtender, however, they may be desired for users who are expected to spend much of their time in Banner and Xtender concurrently.
  • Software
    • ApplicationXtender (AX) Web Access requires the installation of several ActiveX controls, a set of rules for how applications share information.
    • Local administrator privileges are needed to install the ActiveX controls on a Windows XP computer. 
    • ActiveX controls are automatically installed during the first use of ApplicationXtender in the Banner Administrative System. 
    • An AXClientInstaller is available for departmental technical support staff who manage desktop computers for employees who do not have administrator privileges. 
    • Internet Explorer 7 and 8 are the web browsers that support the vendor's requirements.  Internet Explorer 6.0 (SP3) support has been dropped.
    • Windows XP, Vista  and 7 are supported operating systems certified for use with ApplicationXtender (AX) by the vendor, as of the AX 6.5 release.
